Refreshing victory speech from Carney, repudiating the Donald and all his crap. Not afraid to mention him by name either... quite a contrast to our pissweak PM. #AusPol #CanadaVotes

Jagmeet Singh has just announced that he will be stepping down as party leader. He lost his seat.
Poilievere is trailing in his riding currently. Elizabeth May has won her seat. This election night has been certainly interesting.

Remember, regardless of who we voted for, we are still Canadians. Never lose sight of that!
And with that, I am going to stop watching the news and hit the sack. Good night y'all.

Canada, congratulations!

Canada has voted to give the Liberals a fourth consecutive term. I think it's an endorsement of Mark Carney's leadership. It also shows strong voter disapproval for Pierre Poilievre’s alarmingly extremist views. I hope Pierre Poilievre loses his riding, Carleton, where tally results are starting to arrive: CON 38.6%, LIB 58.6%.

Canada says "No" to Trumpism!
Australia, it's our turn next!

FYI: This is what an election ballot in the Canadian province of Ontario looks like. Seriously. This is the ballot for Ontario. All the names. Imagine this being the ballot in your state in the U.S.

CBC: “Canada election: Liberals will form next government, CBC News projects”

The Liberals forming government brings me some relief, but knowing that Pierre Poilievre won't be Prime Minister is what brings me joy tonight. Extra joy knowing it was his ties to Trump that denied him.

So... Carleton...

Si vous êtes dans la file, vous devriez pouvoir voter.

Okay, grudgingly tuning in to the election details.

I weighed the comparative angst of waking up to terrible results versus seeing terrible results manifest over the evening, and I think the latter might be easier to take.

Of course, maybe the polls will have been right and there will be good news, but we've been burnt so many times over the past couple of years.

Yet another election where the media isn't doing their job.

Instead of helping Canadians understand the Westminster Parliamentary system that Canada uses, they report as if it were a US Presidential election.

Reporting as the sun crosses from east to west, generating Western alienation.

Elections Canada should be able to fine the media for this harm to Canada’s Democratic Institutions.

YOU STILL HAVE TIME TO GO VOTE!

Voting in Canada today was a breeze.

There was no line for me, and it took less than 5 minutes!

If you can vote and haven't yet,
there is no reason not to go.

Yes, you still have time!
